Editor's Note: Due to the limitations of the message formatting, backslashes have been represented in the following code expressions with a question mark "?". Please substitute a backslash character (where applicable) at each occurrence before you execute the code.

Unfortunately, the premium modules are only available as a Windows installer on the Diamond DVD, so we must use Wine to run it. A registry patch is required to tell the installer where NWN is installed. The installer is linked (or copied) to the NWN directory so it won't try to install the Windows patch which would break the Linux installation of NWN.

1. Install Wine.

Code:sudo apt-get install wine

2. If present, remove (or rename) wine configuration directory.

Code:rm -fr ~/.wine

3. Run winecfg then cancel, to create configuration directory.

Code:winecfg

4. Link drive letter to nwn directory (must be current working directory).
